Are you talkin to me?
He says when staring in the mirror
only this time he isn’t pretending to be
a crazy taxi driver.
this time he's trying to be
some Hollywood tough guy
Like Cagney or Bogart
his ugly face coming up
on my Twitter feed
like a disease doctors
can't find a cure for
he actually thinks
he can punch the president in the face
or bring down the MF as he says
does he have a script for this fantasy
Does he have to rehearse
needing to work on the tough-guy expression
in order to get it just right
in order to get it just right
or the average American to take for seriously
We all know how full of it he is
He's the guy we keep seeing
playing these roles on TV or in the movies
and yet always we know
somewhere in the back of his head
he has doubts he can't live up to the part
are you talkin to me?
he asks again staring in the mirror
Pretending to see the president
Pretending to see the president
reflected back
When he’s only seeing
Himself
